Talk to Alexander Gardner, the man who photographed the American Civil War;
who captured more photographs of Lincoln than any other photographer; who documented
the western expansion with pictures of a proposed continental rail route through
Kansas to California; who created photo-journalism; and who started a Utopian
colony and benevolent insurance services. Alex may also give a lecture on stereo photography!

Interact with a true hero like Franklin Hogan who was awarded a
Medal of Honor for his actions during the Civil War. Follow his travels from
Pennsylvania through the war and to his settlement and life in Kansas.
